Rather than see the Teflon-coated fiberglass fabric that used to top the home of the
Vikings shipped out to a landfill, two local entrepreneurs purchased the material and struck a deal with Duluth Pack, a local luggage and accessory manufacturer. The Duluth-based company is constructing it into a limited line of bags, dubbed the "Domer series," and selling them at the Minnesota State Fair and online.

They're said to be indestructible -- they'd better be, as the line's larger duffel goes for $485, while a purse-like tote can be had for $160.

"All of the bags that we make are guaranteed for life, but the draw for these specific bags would be that people want a piece of the dome," Mlinar said. "That's what the overall feel has been from where I'm sitting."

That's the old dome, of course, the one that couldn't hold a copious amount of snow in December 2010. The facility has since been repaired but will be torn down following football season and replaced by a new, $975 million indoor stadium.

And while Vikings fans can indeed store their personal belongings inside a piece of team history, they can't bring it with them on gameday. The off-white and brown bags are nowhere near compatible with the
NFL's new bag policy.
